Hi Sharon: Thank you so much for the work - well done. With respect to your specific question, I tend to agree with some of the comments (especially from your LE colleagues), i.e., that the definition is a little broad. We had originally drafted it more narrowly, but then ended up broadining and generalizing it more. Having said that, however, I do not see how we can possibly include private entities without losing all of the consistency of the definition itself, i.e., without it falling apart and also just limiting it to sworn law enforcement officers. That is not appropriate considering that regulatory officers, at least in Canada, are not sworn law enforcement officers. Further the definition talks about "Law Enforcement Entities" and not law enforcement officers as seperate item. I think, the defintion could be tightend up by changing the last part: "...government-imposed legal obligations" to something more narrowlly such as "...government regulations" or some such thing.

Dear All,
I hope you are all well. I was given paragraph 5 to work on by Emily - What do the terms law enforcement, applicable laws, producers and maintainers mean and what comments, from whom, we have recieved on them, and then to come to a final conclusion..
This is where I need your knowledge and experience to comment on whether the comments we have received should influence our original definitions. I am new to the community so have no real idea of the relevance of the group, whether they have any particular agendas etc.
For ease of reading, I have shown each our definitions with a brief summary of comments received, and from whom - with the full comments as as Annex. I have also added the Law Enforcement comments as Annex B.
So - could you please take time to have a look - it is only a quick read and send back any comments you have as tracked changes.
Particularly I would like Lutz and Kim to have a look at the feedback on the law enforcement definition as we were on the original small sub group. And Peter, do you have any additional feedback from law enforcement from the GAC?
If you could let me have any feedback by 31st July that would be great,
Many Thanks,
Sharon
